title: Growth through capitation and physician practice management.
abstract: Capitation achieves a competitive edge, yet many subacute care providers have not aggressively pursued this strategy. To take steps toward capitation, the following points need to be addressed: (1) determine what type of capitation to pursue; (2) establish the proper infrastructure to support capitated services; (3) implement a case management system; and (4) practice total quality management.
